Returns the first 50 by default with workCount and paging via offset/nextOffset (or limit); set includeexternalids false for

orcid_resolve_researcher

Disambiguate an ambiguous author name to a verified ORCID iD. Returns a ranked list of candidates (5 by default, up to 20 via rows) with transparent signals: name match type, institution overlap, and whether a DOI or PMID anchor was used.

orcid_search_researchers

Search the ORCID registry using structured field params (name, affiliation, keyword, ROR ID, DOI, PMID). All params are ANDed into a Solr query against the expanded-search endpoint, returning ORCID iDs with inline name and institution data.
